One part of this culture that often gets overlooked is its national sport, Charreria. This sport involves El Charro, a sportsman well-dressed wearing his iconic sombrero, who shows his dominance over horses and bulls. This is an examination of the history of charreria, particularly a focus on the sports presence in the state of Oregon. I want to look at why charreria isn't as well known as other Mexican events like jaripeos and bailes. I want to know what is being done or can be done to share the sport with a wider audience. The charro is an iconic figure in Mexican culture; it is widely recognized, yet how many people know who he is and what he stands for? I plan on accomplishing my goals in two main ways, through interviews and classic methods of research in both Spanish and English. These interviews will be with real charros and escaramuzas in the state of Oregon. I have access to many families and people who play an important role in the sports presence in Oregon, possibly in the United States. I also plan on doing a lot of research in both Spanish and English (using my bilingualism to its potential) to find the answers to all of my questions or at least the bigger ones.

Drawing upon the subaltern theories advanced by Antonio Gramsci, we find that corridos represent a form of cultural communication in an extremely class stratified society. The concept of the social bandit as conceived by the British Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm sheds further light on how and why heroes—or anti-heroes—are treated not only as real men, but archetypal manifestations of agency and self-determination that is out of reach for all but a few. Exploring the historic roots of the Mexican corrido we see that the narcocorrido is deeply rooted in Mexican culture, and like the traditional corridos of the Revolutionary period represent a narrative attempt to reconcile complex and often contradictory elements of daily life in a country ‘at war.’ Bibliographic Citation Berry, Sarah. “Heroes or Villains: Placing Narcocorridos in the Mexican Corrido Tradition.” Paper presented at the Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Regional Conference, Spokane, Washington, April 12-14, 2012.
